SF Caddy earns its place in the aescripts library for a focused job: quick asset replacement built around character animation and lip-sync, with a marker-driven workflow and support across a long range of After Effects versions.
SF Caddy is a quick asset replacement tool for After Effects, developed by Script-Fighter. It is aimed at character animation and lip-sync, and works for anything that requires replacing. Lip-sync can be handled using markers, a marker mode added in an earlier release.
Beyond swapping assets, the tool lets you animate the items inside the replacement precomp. It includes an edit mode and a reverse animation option, and the panel is dockable within After Effects. It runs on both Mac and Windows.
Version 2.9.3, released on February 19, 2025, improved how the script functions on non-English versions of After Effects. Compatibility spans After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and the CC 2019, CC 2018, and CC 2017 releases. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
SF Caddy is best for character animation and lip-sync work in After Effects, plus any task that involves replacing assets.
SF Caddy is completely free to download and use.
SF Caddy is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and the CC 2019, CC 2018, and CC 2017 releases. That span covers most versions still in active use, so it should fit into both current and older projects. The tool also runs on both Mac and Windows. If you are on a release outside this list, check the developer's page on aescripts for the latest compatibility details before installing.
SF Caddy has received fixes aimed at non-English installations of After Effects. Version 2.9.3 improved how the script functions on non-English versions, and an earlier update noted the tool working correctly in languages other than English. If you run After Effects in a non-English language and run into issues, updating to the current version is worth trying, and the developer's page on aescripts lists the full changelog for reference.
SF Caddy supports lip-sync using markers, a marker mode introduced in an earlier update. It is a quick asset replacement tool, so it handles character animation and lip-sync as well as anything that requires replacing. You can also animate the items inside the replacement precomp and reverse the animation. A demo video is available on the developer's page if you want to see more before installing.
SF Caddy is listed as free here in the catalog. Because licensing terms can change over time, confirm the current status on the developer's page on aescripts before you download. The tool is maintained by Script-Fighter, with the most recent release dated February 2025, so checking the source directly gives you up-to-date licensing and download details along with the latest version.
